Description:
One of just 14 made in this configuration - this rare early gun made on a #2 frame (very rare in 10ga) with 30" Finest Damascus barrels. This gun, made in 1890, was the highest grade gun made at the time and was made with original splinter forend, double triggers, extractors, and beautifully engraved skeleton buttplate. This gun is absolutely 100% full coverage engraved, most certainly by W.H. Gough, and perhaps a detailed inspection will unveil his occasionally found and very elusive signature. The gun is engraved with no less than 3 dogs on the bottom of the frame and 4 birds in a scene on the trigger plate, two more towards forend, two dogs on trigger guard bow with full scroll engraving, double dogs on right side with serpentine "PARKER BROS." surrounded by full scroll, dog scenes on each of the breech balls, and double dogs on left, again with serpentine makers name surrounded by full scroll engraving. The gun has its original engraved and blued skeleton buttplate. Stocked with incredible straight grained European Walnut stocks which are beautifully checkered as seen in the photos. All stampings are factory correct and original in every respect.
This gun remains in spectacular original condition- nearly unheard of for one of these early guns. The gun retains more than 95% bold vivid original case color throughout. Stocks are excellent and sound with virtually all of their original hand rubbed finish with only minor handling marks throughout. Trigger guard retains more than 80% original blue. The buttplate retains more than 60% of its original high luster blue. The breechface shows almost no signs of a shell ring from firing. The barrels retain about 95% of their dark bold original pattern with only minor spotting towards the right breech as seen in the photos. Bores are brilliant and shiny and the mechanics are crisp. This gun matches it's PGCA letter as seen in the photos.
This exceptional "Best in Class" Parker is priced at $43,500 and can be shipped directly to your door as an antique. If you desire the very best - look no further - this is it. This gun is as fresh as a spring daisy having never been offered for sale publicly.
